COMBINED PAN GREASER AND SCR/AFER.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I. Nimm F. ihnen. a citizen ot. the iinited States. residing' at Los Angeles. in the county of' Los Angeles and State of Caiiornia. have invented new and useful Improvements in Combined `Pan ireasers and Scrapers. of which the toiiowing is a specification. I

Wy invention relates greaser and scraper.

t is an chject of this invention to construct a combined pan greaser and seraper which is extreineiy simple et construction. durahie. and easy ot manufacture.

it is another ohiect to construct 'a device, of the kind deserihed which is sanitary and which inay he easiiy inanipuiatcd to insert a new pan-grcasingl niernher.

With these a'nd other ohjiects inl View, which wiii appear as the deseriiition proneeds, niv invention consists in the construction and arrangement ot parts hereinafter described and ciaimed.

in the accompanyingr drawings which orrn a part ot this specification. i iiiustrate a convenient and practicai form of iny invention, in which:

Figure l is a perspective View oi" my device. Fig. 2 is a top pian View ot the iront part thereof. `r`ig. 3 is a section taken on to a combined pan iine 3 3 of Fig. 2. Fig. 4 a section taken on 1line 4-4 et Fig. 3. v

The main hody of my device consists ot ay handie`10 of sheet metal. Whirh. at its torward end. is hent downwardiy to forni a curved portion and a scraper hiade 1i which extends in ay piane at right anics and transverseiy to the handie 1G. in tore part ot the handle, a pair of paraiiei damp-enga@ ing iianges or channeis 12-12 are arranged. AThe same extend upwardiy 'from the iaterai edges of the handie and are made integrai therewith. They consist ot vertical inem-- hers 13 and inWardiy--turned strips 1li. vThe 'verticali menlhers 13 are ot iess height in. front, as 15, and et greater height in the, rear, as at fiso that the upper thereof is siightiy inciined toward the trent. 'The handie is pre'ferahiy provided. with a. iaterai danno 10" entendin a upwardiy troni tin` rear et the chimp-engaging Hannes 1i?Y 1:2 with the portion. of the iiange adjacent 'to the rear oi the iiange rnernhers 12-12 inciined toward the horirontai7 as at 17. rThe. pitch of the inciined portion 1'? is the, saine as that.

Specification of Letters Patent.

"Patented Dec. 2d., 119ML Application filed ctober 1S, 1915. Serial No. 56,625.

oi' the upper strips 14. of the fianges 12--12- (io-acting' with said fianges is a. clamp mein her 1S. rThe saine consists ot a, reetanguhtr piece ot sheet inetai adapted to siidahiy en- ;ane the tangfes @#12, The iront end of said eiainp is provided with a downwardly eX- tending' dangle. 19 whose lower edge is ser-v rated to torni a series ot teeth 20. The rear edge of the eianip is bent downwardiy to forni a dangle Q1 adapted to engage and siide upon the inciined portion 17 of' the iange 10 oi the handle. Extending hiteraiiy from the rear edge oi the eiainp 18 is a pair ot stop pins which are 1formed integrati with said ciainp and extend beyond the iianges 'iQ-12. j. fire..se-spreading raeniher 23. sich asa pad ot cotton-teit or the iike7 is heid at the rear portion thereof in irin engagement hetween the ciainp ineinher 1S and the upper face of the hody portion of the de vice so that the front end oi said pad extends suhstantiaiij.' to the front end oi the handie over the curved portion thereof to provide to a yielding action of the front end of the pad. in piace of the cotton pad or the like, a piece ot hacon rind may he suhstituted.

From the foregoing description. the operation et the devicewiii he easily understood. i/Vhen it is desired to insert a fresh greasing-meinher. the cianip 18 is pushed rarwardiy. the i'iange 21 riding on the inciined portion if ot the late 'ai tiangge 1.0" on the handle7 nntii engaged from the cienip-retaininc`- tianges 12-1Q- [i 'fresh pad of teit or the iike is inn sorted hetween vthe damp-retaining tianges 12-12 so that its rear end projects heyond the rear ot the danges and the clamp 1S is pressed downwardiy thereon with thc teeth 20 ot the ciarnp engaging* the saine. rThe cianip 18 is now pushed toi-Ward hetween the the cianip is entireiy dis' chimp-retaining i anges. in view et the iact that the toi strips ot said tianyges are ineiined iorwardiy. the eiarnp wiii he wedged in. seeureiy hoi-ding the pad ot teit in its 'po-l sition. The stop pins wiii ahnt inst the re: r waiis ci: the *flanges and prevent any further forward inovernent ot said eiainp.

rThe pan is scraped hy ineans ot the scraper hiade 11, and then. hy turnin;lf the device over, the pan may he t eased hy the. pad o? 'i'cit or the iike, which is saturated with any suilahie. edihie grease or tat.

it is thus seen that i have eonstrurted an "entrena-1y siinpie device whereby the, ereasing member may be instantly removed and a new one inserted in its place. The device Without the greasing member consists of but two parts and possesses no grooves or corners which are difficult to keep clean and sanitary.

It is obvious that changes in the construe tion and arrangement of my improved combined pan greaser and scraper may be made by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit of my invention as covered by the claims.

I claim:

1. In a device of the cha acter as disclosed, a handle, a blade, a pair of parallel clampenga ging channels extending upwardly from said handle and spaced from said blade, the to-p meml'iers of said channels being inclined toward the front, a pair of flanges to the rear f said channels, the upper edge of said ianges being inclined in the same direction as said top members, a fibrous pad removably mounted between said channels and eX- tending in front thereof, a clamp member slidably mounted in said channels, said clamp having padengaging teeth. and a 'flange-engaging member, and means on said clamp to limit its forward movement.

2. In a device ofv the character as disclosed, a handle, a blade, a pair of clamp-engaging members spaced fromi'said blade, a fibrous pad removably mounted between said members and extending therefrom, a clamp slidably mounted in said members, means on said clamp for engaging said pad, and means for limiting the forward movement of said clamp. l

3. In a device of the character disclosed, a handle bent downwardly at its forward end, a grease-spreading pad, means on said handle for detachably clamping the rear portion of said pad on the upper face of said handle so that the forward end thereof will extend substantially to the forward end of said handle and over the bent portion thereof to providefor a yielding action of the forward end of the pad.

4. In a device of the character disclosed, a handle, a pair of clamp-engaging channels at the forward part of said handle, the top members of said channels being inclined 'downwardly toward the forward end of the moved forwardly within said channels, and.y

means to limit the forward movement of said clamp.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification.
